Rainbow Cheesecakes

Let’s ignore the fact that picture is not fabulous and. . . um, can we just focus on the how yummy and cute these little Rainbow Cheesecakes are. This weekend was a mad baking one so I had to quickly work through the photography portion of it.

It’s been crazy lately between all the birthdays and a job restructure shortly after just starting my job, acclimating to my job and then-it changes. Thankfully, it’s all for good and most importantly, I love it.

Life is finally slowing down and it’s all coming back into balance. Cole is settling in with his new babysitter. The family is settling into my later working hours from being home at 4:30 pm to 6:30pm. That’s a huge difference in time when you have a little one waiting for you every night. I finally feel like the frenetic pace of life is settling into something more even keeled and the sprinting shoes can now finally be shelved for awhile.

With that, I should be back on a regular posting schedule. Yay for that!

A few notes:

This is incredibly easy to make but does require a mise en place set up, so line up five bowls with five spoons to mix each color. To assemble, you can use a spoon to layer each color, but it’s much easier and less messy if you place each colored batter into a Ziploc bag or pastry bag to pipe each color on top of one another.

Add the color one drop at a time. I recommend two drops, but keep in mind I used Ateco coloring. If you use any other line, the amount may change so add your color slowly.

The finished rainbow cheesecake will have slightly sunken centers, but that’s okay since it will be topped with whip cream.

Love the color…these can be used for all kinds of occasions….rainbows are often used as metaphors in retreats, classroom activities, these would be a perfect tie in! Good job, Naomi! And the photo is great..makes me want to try the recipe! Keep up the great work.
